Fitting wheels on a Citroen 2CV

A Citroen 2CV (1949–1990) uses a 3x160 PCD. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

  • PCD: 3x160 required. See all vehicles with 3x160.
  • Offset: the original is ET48. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
  • Fixings: thread M12x1.25, tightened to 45 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore

Same 3x160 PCD and same 0 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Citroen 2CV without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.

Will wheels from another vehicle fit your 2CV?

Choose the vehicle the wheels come from: we compare the hub, then each original wheel to the millimetre.

With the same PCD (3x160) and the same centre bore (0 mm), these include: Citroen GS-GSA. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
